What is the best American sandwich and why is it the philly cheesesteak?

>>21442443 (OP)
Not even the best sandwich in Philly. The best sandwich in American is in Philly though, and it’s the Italian roast pork

>>21442443 (OP)
Well first of all we need to consider what the city of Philadelphia means to America. It is where both the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were written, it is literally the birthplace of this great country. Now the iconic sandwich with the city's namesake is a staple in the city and contains the soul of the city in every bite.

Now lets look a little closer. We've got a soft roll, tender shaved rib-eye steak, cheeze wiz with onions. The simple combination leaves room for customization if you want peppers or mushrooms. The name is incredibly strait forward and it is delicious. Take for example a cuban sandwich, if you don't know what that is, you've got to ask, but the cheese steak says it all. Yeah I think this one wins hands down.

Those are both good but a traditional Italian hoagie mogs them

Italy isn't America. You can't call an Italian sandwich an American sandwich.

>According to Amato family history, Giovanni and Michillina Amato, grocers in Portland, Maine, began selling "Italian" bread to dockworkers in 1902. By 1910 they had invented the "Italian sandwich" by adding cheese, ham and vegetables to the bread.

Okay fine! I will let you guys call the Italian sandwich an American sandwich, but can you answer the second half of OP's question?

>>21442613
Ruben moggs them all

>Italian beef, dipped, hot giardiniera
>fries covered in Frank's Red Hot.
It doesn't get any better than this.

>>21442458
Is that spinach? Sorry but spinach really triggers my gout.

>>21442637
It is in that picture, but generally the sandwich comes with broccoli rabe. Some people get spinach because they are afraid of vegetables they didn’t normally consume as a child.

>>21442616
>Swiss Cheese
unamerican sandwich

>>21442638
Broccoli rabe is even worse for his gout.

People aren't in the Club Sandwich Club around here

my brother had one and said it was a tasteless, greasy mess

That's because Pat's, Geno's, Dalessdandro's, Faggotisimo's, Hivaidsabungo's, etc are all shitty tourist knockoffs of a proper homemade Philly cheesesteak, made from all-American Steakumms beef product--and the best part is, you can get it from any supermarket, without entering the monkeypox superfund site known as Philadelphia.

The Philadelphianese also try to pretend that using Cheez-Wiz is a gimmick for tourists..... whereas it was actually invented by Darrell, a true American genius drunk in his underpants at 3:00am, a philosopher and scientist who discovered that plastic spray cheese is superior to foreign cheeses like "provolone" (from Italy, an Axis enemy). Whiz is preferred by all true patriots, although Kraft Singles or Great Value brand string cheese also work in a pinch.

Since this is a sandwich thread I'll give you a sandwich tip:
Make the most American sandwich—a PB&J—and then butter up each side and toast on the pan. Obviously, the bread becomes tastier, but it also adds texture and the heat softens the peanut butter. No more wet napkin PB&Js.

>>21442443 (OP)
Italian Beef, Reuben, or Cuban

>>21442738
Cheez-Wiz isn't spray cheese, retard. It comes in a jar.

>>21442686
I like mine with alfalfa sprouts

>>21442811
least retarded american

>>21442636
What’s up with shitcago and loading up pickled vegetables on top of something generically found in every single city across America and pretending it’s some zany concoction unique to them? I too can get a hot roast beef sandwich or hot dog and load it up with all the pickled shit at the salad bar.

>>21442819
>Cheez Whiz is a brand of processed cheese sauce and spread produced by Kraft Foods.
>Orangish-yellow in color, it usually comes in a glass jar

>>21442820
If you don't 'go, you don't 'go. That's okay. I'm a 'goer myself.

>>21442821

>>21442832
That didn't exist until the past decade or so, long after the misconception that Cheez-Whiz and Easy Cheese are the same thing had taken hold. Go ahead and try to find a photo of Cheez-Whiz in a can before the 2010s.

>>21442842
The Philly Cheeseteak existed before 2011 lmao. Nobody uses canned cheese for a cheeseteak, dork.

did you know that the french dip was invented in LA?
pure american ingenuity

>>21442842
The spray shit is pretty uncommon. I'm a Whiz guy and this is my first time even seeing this.

It can come in 6.5lb bags (6 to a case)

>>21442443 (OP)
It's obviously the banh mi

>>21443096
Not American

>>21443103
yeah it is, invented by Vietnamese-American immigrants on the West Coast

>>21443121
no it wasn't

>>21442842
youre wrong, nobody uses spray-can cheese for these, only the cheese spread in jars/buckets

>>21443122
it was, an American development of earlier (worse) sandwiches derived from the Vietnamese French colonial era
the fact that those sandwiches are now also called banh mi is just revisionist history

>>21443124
it stems from french occupation in vietnam you dumb fuck

>>21443138
>calling French Indochina an occupation
ah, I see why you're mad

>>21442636
Keep the fries but the Italian beef absolutely fucks and is probably my favorite sandwich. Cuban is a VERY close second

>>21443139
How was France not occupying Vietnam you retard? Is Vietnam still France genius?

>>21442820
Yeah you can also make a fuckin ham and butter sandwich, but the French make it better than you ever could so shut the hell up you insufferable moron

>>21443147
It was a colony, not an occupation. Big difference.

>>21442443 (OP)
They're better anywhere else, then you don't have to deal with that horrible fucking city or its denizens

>>21442443 (OP)
Give me a cuban, a rueben, a traditional northeastern italian, and for the love of god wipe the the city of philadelphia off the map. Thanks

>best American sandwich
The Monte Cristo

Phillyfags chime in...I got into an argument with some retard yesterday who I called a nutjob for putting lettuce, ketchup and mayo on his cheesesteak. This was the traditional "philly" meaning it was sliced ribeye, whiz and onions. He claps back saying his version is a "cheesesteak hoagie" and is the original version of a philly cheesesteak. I called him a faggot and left.

>>21443376
For the record I work and have been affiliated with Philadelphia for 15 years. Been to many of the popular and tourist spots. Never seen someone add any of that shit unless they were a tourist themselves.

>>21443376
The moolies do that. It's a moolie thing.
